Abstract:

Snakebite may produce a systemic as well as local effect. Hemorrhage and tissue necrosis are the local effects of the venoms of the cottonmouth moccasin and the fer-de-lance. The chelating agent EDTA injected immediately following and in the area of envenomation greatly reduces the local effects of these particular venoms.
